Django Framework Rest match calendar users with current user - django

Question

I am doing an exercise where the goal it's to match my current calendar with other users.
To do this, I created a UserProfile App and Schedule App. Each user has a profile that can have multiple intervals.
Considering my current calendar:
{
"count": 1,
"next": null,
"previous": null,
"results": [
{
"id": 3,
"user": {
"id": 3,
"username": "john.doe",
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Doe"
},
"calendar": [
{
"id": 1,
"mon": true,
"tue": true,
"wed": true,
"thu": true,
"fri": true,
"sat": true,
"sun": true,
"start_date": "09:30",
"end_date": "12:20"
},
{
"id": 2,
"mon": true,
"tue": true,
"wed": true,
"thu": true,
"fri": true,
"sat": true,
"sun": true,
"start_date": "14:00",
"end_date": "23:00"
}
]
}
]}
When I am doing a call to the endpoint /api/search/users it returns all User Profiles with info from each user.
example:
{
"count": 99,
"next": "http://localhost:8000/api/search/users?page=2",
"previous": null,
"results": [
{
"id": 1,
"user": {
"id": 1,
"username": "john.bender.99",
"first_name": "John",
"last_name": "Bender"
},
"calendar": [
{
"id": 2,
"mon": true,
"tue": true,
"wed": true,
"thu": false,
"fri": true,
"sat": false,
"sun": false,
"start_date": "09:30",
"end_date": "12:20"
},
{
"id": 55,
"mon": false,
"tue": true,
"wed": true,
"thu": false,
"fri": true,
"sat": false,
"sun": false,
"start_date": "14:30",
"end_date": "19:20"
}
]
}
]}
Now, what I want to do actually is a search for related users with my calendar to know what days/hours we have a match.
When I do a call to this endpoint /api/search/users?related=self, I want to see this
{
"count": 2,
"results": [
{
"id": 87,
"user": {
"id": 87,
"username": "diana.taller",
"first_name": "Diana",
"last_name": "Taller"
},
"calendar": [
{
"id": 2,
"mon": true,
"tue": true,
"wed": true,
"thu": false,
"fri": true,
"sat": false,
"sun": false,
"start_date": "10:30",
"end_date": "11:20"
},
{
"id": 55,
"mon": false,
"tue": true,
"wed": true,
"thu": false,
"fri": true,
"sat": false,
"sun": false,
"start_date": "16:30",
"end_date": "17:20"
}
]
},{
"id": 128,
"user": {
"id": 128,
"username": "therockjosh",
"first_name": "Josh",
"last_name": "Bail"
},
"calendar": [
{
"id": 2,
"mon": false,
"tue": false,
"wed": false,
"thu": false,
"fri": true,
"sat": false,
"sun": false,
"start_date": "10:30",
"end_date": "11:20"
},
{
"id": 55,
"mon": false,
"tue": false,
"wed": false,
"thu": false,
"fri": true,
"sat": true,
"sun": true,
"start_date": "14:30",
"end_date": "17:00"
}
]
}
]}
The interception between my availability and from users is done between per day and then each interval to see when we have a match.
Inside my Search App, I created this
if related == "self":
current_user_profile = UserProfile.objects.filter(user=self.request.user)
related_users = UserProfile.objects.filter(calendar__in=current_user_profile.calendar.all())
return related_users
If I call current_user_profile, returns me the current user data as I provided you before.
If I call UserProfile.objects.all(), returns me the user's data as I provided you before.
But for some reason, I can't call calendar from current_user_profile.calendar as this image shows.
Is anyone have some idea how could I do this?

Answer 1

I think you need to use get function if you wanna get the object.
if related == "self":
# not UserProfile.objects.filter in order to get the UserProfile object.
current_user_profile = UserProfile.objects.get(user=self.request.user)
related_users = UserProfile.objects.filter(calendar__in=current_user_profile.calendar.all())
return related_users

Answer 2

Here we have the solution I found to exclude my user from the search.
current_user_profile = UserProfile.objects.get(user=self.request.user)
related_users = UserProfile.objects\
.filter(calendar__in=current_user_profile.calendar.all()) \
.exclude(user_id=current_user_profile.id)
return related_users
